Hey guys! Just a quick journal before I head to bed...I wanted to ask everyone a big favor. If you have the time, please vote for me in the FLCL contest on acparadise.com! I don't go out of my way to enter cosplay competitions, but I am a huge FLCL fan, and I would love to see how far I can go!

Here is the address to the contest: [link]

My cosplay name there is Foxykitsune, and I decided to go with my bunny suit version of Haruko for the contest, since it was my favorite of all of her various outfits :D If you vote for me, definitely leave a shout out here! I would like to thank you guys individually, and I don't want anyone to get overlooked! Thank you all! Next con for me is Katsucon (since I had to work for Nekocon and I am probably going to have to work during AUSA), and I hope to see a bunch of familiar faces while I'm there ;) Thanks guys!
  • Mood: Sweet
  • Listening to: Tegan and Sara

Hey, my name is Colleen, I'm 21 years old and I've been cosplaying since 2004.
I am a HUGE NERD. I play video games, watch anime, and read manga. I'm also slowly getting into American comics as well. I have an amazing fiancee, an awesome family, and some kickass friends. I would take a bullet for all of them.
As far as cosplay goes, I make all of my own costumes, props, and accessories. I have made over 20 costumes over the years for myself and friends, but I have only recently decided to document each one. I really enjoy cosplaying, I have met so many great people and good friends, and I am looking forward to making as many costumes as I can!
On the other side of the spectrum, I also enjoy drawing, painting, writing, sculpting, woodworking, and just expressing myself in as many different ways as possible. I am currently in college pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Art Education. I work as a figure model for my University's art department and I have modeled for photographers and friends in the past, and enjoy it immensely. I am always looking for other photographers, cosplayers, and artists to work/collaborate with, and I love meeting new people and trying new things.
Also...if you have any questions or need any guidance as far as making/constructing different projects, let me know. I'll help you out the best I can.

Current Residence: The Land of Milk and Honey
Favourite genre of music: Rock, Alternative, Metal, Electronica, Classical, Big Band, etc...
Favourite cartoon character: Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Yoko Ritona, Haruko Haruhara, Faye Valentine
Personal Quote: "You can't run away from yourself, you are always right behind you."

If you're looking into NY, I would try the New York Anime Festival. They combined New York Comic Con with their Anime Fest and its now bigger than its ever been. I've been trying to go for a while (I live about 5 hours south of NYC) but travel/financial issues have prevented me from going. I do know a bunch of people that have gone though, and they all say its a really great con. Plus, its in the heart of NYC, so even if you have some time outside of the convention, there is plenty to do :) I hope you can make it stateside!!! I know for a fact that you'll be swarmed with photogs :heart: !

Wow! Thanks so much! I really hope to get some good shots up...on the drive to Baltimore for Otakon I ended up forgetting my boots for the costume so I had to wear a pair from another costume :) I'm hoping to clean it up a bit and wear it to another con this year too!
